Allright place but nothing special

This is really an average hostel. They take advantage of the fact that they are listed in every guidebook so most backpackers end up here.My dorm was quite spacious but had no windows so during the day we had to keep the door open for at least some fresh air. I got the last bed which was right next to the bathroom door so every time someone had to go to the toilet during the night I woke up.There's a small common place with some rocking chairs and a hammock or two but it lacks atmosphere.Right next door is is café Luz which is from the same owners where you can buy breakfast, lunch and diner and have a drink in the evening.They also have a "tourist office" which is more a place that sells tours.Anyway, it's a good place to sleep (if you pick the right bed) and to meet people, but with that it's said.More

- hostel doors open all the time with no staff around...no Option to put valuables in a secure place!- very basic but clean rooms...old matresses..- staff of connected tour agency unwilling to help with Information if ist not for any of there Standard tours- linen hung up everywhere where you would suggest the sitting area...no place to hangout!- really loud

all in all I would recomment to look around for another place...there seem to be really good ones just around the Corner!

So the LP says this is the quintissential backpacker hostal. It is. It's overpriced, loud and filled with travelers smoking cigarrettes. If that's your thing, go for it. If not, find another room a block away for the half the cost and then buy food in the cool restaurant attached to this hostal. It's well worth the money as the food is super good and has a cool vibe.

Room Tip: Think before you pay this much for a room.

Nothing spectacular, but the staff is great (Jane is super knowledgable and can help connect you with a host family in miraflor, which I highly recommend doing for an "off the beaten path" experience), the hostel is clean. Downfalls are the common area (there isn't really one) but there is wifi. If I am in esteli, I would stay here.

This is a decent hostel. Small courtyard that get noise pollution of the busy road outside, and motorcycles and cars zipping by. Free coffee is alright, and is on offer, but the place lacks a kitchen. There are some comfortable sitting areas to chill.The dorm room I was in had a lot of mosquitos (also in the dorm bathroom), which ruined the sleeping experience for me. Mosquitos generally seemed to be in that hostel.There are no locker rooms, just one common locker room at reception. I had to call a worker over all the time to get my laptop and money belt in and out of it. Often the reception worker was not available, being across the street in the hostel's cafe.

The staff is really friendly. We had to go to the police and somebody came with us to the police and helped us arrange everything. There is hot water and the room are big. The wifi is good and free good coffee. Great hostel.
